Infitec™ stereo separation
Infitec™ is the latest stereo technology. It delivers superior
stereo separation without ghosting, with full freedom of motion, independent
of head tilt.
With two DLP™ or LCD projectors
As a projector manufacturer, Barco positioned the Infitec™ filter at the ideal location inside its DLP™ and LCD projectors. Infitec's superior stereo separation is perfectly suited for applications with high-contrast, non-saturated images. Infitec™ achieves its optimal performance with 3-chip DLP™ applications, for which Barco is the sole provider on the market. At present Infitec™ technology is already widely used by German car manufacturers.
Infitec™ delivers superior stereo separation without ghosting, with
full freedom of motion, independent of head tilt.
- Left and right eye image displayed simultaneously
- Left/right selection through Infitec™ filter Technology
Compared to active stereo it is completely free of flickering, more performant in stereo lumens and comes with more affordable glasses.
Compared to polarization based passive stereo it achieves superior separation, independent of screen technology and therefore resulting in better uniformity.
How does Infitec™ work?
Two optical infitec filters (illustrated by a thick and a dotted line) split the colour spectrum in 2 parts: one for the left and one for the right eye information (fig. 1).
If each of the two Infitec™ filters is mounted into the optical light path of its own projector, then a stereoscopic image can be made by putting the left eye information in the image of one projector, the right eye information in the image of the other and by using the matching Infitec™ filter in the pair of Infitec™ glasses in front of the corresponding eye (fig. 2 & 3). Both projectors displays their information at standard refresh rate.
